      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Random assignment of the right and left sides of the patients to the intervention and control groups through the drawing of lots. To do this, we prepare two sheets and write "right" on one sheet and "left" on another. Then, by referring to every patient, one of the sheets will be randomly taken. According to whether the sheet is taken right or left is assigned to the intervention group and the other side to the control group, Blinding description: The shape of the medications will be perfectly the same. Therefore, patients will be unaware of the type of intervention. The physician who will examine the patients will not be aware of the intervention. Thus, the trial will be run as double -blind.</study_design>
